    Have you tested your water? Specifically CA and ALK. I have seen many people avoid testing these for some reason. These levels aren't just for advanced sps folks. Your LPS use just as much. I have seen low alk do all sorts of crazy things like cause euphyllia to lose heads, etc......

    Cut your light cycle back to 4 or 5 hours per day and see if anything changes. If it does, slowly increase the time.
